Alone I stand on the sands of time,
With footprints mine destined to shine;
Yet Lonely, Dejected, Defeated and Blue -
Of Victory's friends I had no clue.
In time maybe my Will will win,
On each step loosing a cherished kin;
Estranged and above the world at large
Labeled Outsider in this Life's Farce.
In the past when I fell there were hands to lift
The bitterness of heart made the feet move swift
Leaving behind those who helped me impromptu -
My Friends, My Dreams, A bit of Me too.
An Achiever, A Victor, The Sun rising high
My shadow disappearing; No one to hear my sigh!
With footprints mine destined to shine;
Yet Lonely, Dejected, Defeated and Blue -
Of Victory's friends I had no clue.
In time maybe my Will will win,
On each step loosing a cherished kin;
Estranged and above the world at large
Labeled Outsider in this Life's Farce.
In the past when I fell there were hands to lift
The bitterness of heart made the feet move swift
Leaving behind those who helped me impromptu -
My Friends, My Dreams, A bit of Me too.
An Achiever, A Victor, The Sun rising high
My shadow disappearing; No one to hear my sigh!
PS: This was written in the days following me getting AIR 98 in JEE '94. (30 yrs back and is my first sonnet as far as I remember!!)
